Happy Avon New Year!

Campaign 7 ended the selling year last week!

We are now starting a new Avon year!

As you know, this selling year will be shorter due to the change that Avon has made to end the selling cycle the last week of December 2014!

I personally want to thank all my valued customers, friends, manager, representatives, subsellers and Annette Desmarais my awesome helper, for a wonderful Avon year.  At the last moment, I made President's Club for the 14th straight year!

Thank you all so very much!

As we start the new year, what are you goals? Dreams? Plans?

How do you plan to achieve those goals?

How much do you want to earn with your Avon business?

Are you using Social Media to advertise your business?  If so, which ones?  Pinterest? Facebook? Twitter?  Digg?

Have you considered joining the Avon leadership program!

More to follow about leadership in upcoming posts!  But I can tell you there have been awesome changes to make it more lucrative! 

Once again, Happy Avon New Year!

How to Eliminate Wrinkles - Ellen Stanton

As a beauty consultant it is my responsibility to be educated on the various types of skincare concerns my customers experience. I also need to know my products, and how and why they work.

One the most frequent questions I'm asked is: Do you have products for wrinkles?
The answer is yes. I do have award -winning anti -aging products specifically formulated to treat wrinkles.
In my fifteen years of experience, I've learned that many of my customers and clients do not understand the reasons they have wrinkles. They see lines, crevices and creases and want an instant fix. Though there are products to lessen and erase the appearance of lines, wrinkles and crevices, I believe it's important to know the nature of wrinkles.
Wrinkles are the natural part of our life's aging process.
As we age, the skin becomes more fragile, less elastic, causing lines, particularly around the eyes and mouth. The depletion of natural oils in the body cause dryness in the skin which will, in conjunction with the loss of elasticity, deepen the wrinkles in the cheek and neck, and contribute to a loss of firmness around the jawline.
Exposure to the sun is one of the leading causes of dry skin, which will accelerate the skin's wrinkling process. (Sun exposure can cause skin cancer as well as age spots, and discolorations on the skin).  

I have many clients/customers who are avid golfers and gardners who mistakenly believe a small visor or small straw hat is sufficient to keep sun damage at bay.  Unfortunately, most of those customers have leathery skin that takes potent  products to undue the tremendous amount of damage done by the sun. 
Can wrinkles be prevented?
There are many ways to prevent wrinkles. Protect your face, neck, hands, chest, and legs whenever you are out in the sun with products that have high SPF. (Sun Protection Factor)
Hydrate! Drink at least three glasses of water EVERY day
If you smoke, please either quit, or limit your cigarettes to one or two a day.
Cleanse and moisturize your skin with products that will specifically target your type of wrinkles (fine, deep, around the eyes, mouth and neck).
It is also important to wear sunglasses all year round.  Why?  Though the winter weather can be frigid, the sun's UV rays are still powerful.  Particularly when driving.  The sun intensifies through the windshield and will cause sun damage to both the eyes, face and hands. 
Wrinkles can be treated.  But more importantly, wrinkles can be prevented with a few easy precautions.

Work from Home Avon

Excellent article by Melody Schafer, national recruiter for Avon

If you have been looking for a work at home business opportunity, you may want to look for an opportunity where you can work online, with little start-up cost, no inventory, free online training, free web store for your customers, and whatever else may be on your list of important credentials to meet your needs in finding that perfect fit for you and your family.

The economy has been in the dumps for a few years now, good paying jobs are difficult or impossible to find and working for someone else, definitely is not the answer in reaching our dreams, especially without jeopardizing the time we want to have, so we can spend more time with our families.
Being one's own boss has more to do with freedom than it has to do with money. Being your own boss allows you to spend more time with your family, allows you to go places and do things you normally couldn't if you were checking in and out of a 9-5 job.
Set your own schedule so you can work as little or as much as you want, and WHEN you want. You are your own boss, so how much you make will be up to you. Do you want a raise? Give yourself a raise by doing the things that need to be done to grow your business?
Think you are too busy to have your own business? Think again. Many work at home businesses can be worked COMPLETELY online, so all you have to do is get your customers to your website that may be provided to you, or one that you create yourself. Many businesses, such as direct sales companies or affiliate programs are fairly simple to do online.  All you have to do is get customers to your web store and the company handles the payments, orders and shipping. All you have to do is collect your paycheck or direct deposit to your bank account.

There are other options, such as owning your own web store on e-bay, Amazon, Etsy, Artfire and so many other well known sites where you can post items that you either make or are re-selling. With this type of business you either can carry the inventory in your own home and ship to customers OR use dropshipping, if it is available, for the product you sell.

I will be writing future articles breaking down the pros and cons of using dropshippers versus carrying inventory and shipping items yourself, versus finding a company, such as a direct sales organization to work with, and other choices you may have.
Remember, being your own boss, is about freedom. With freedom comes great responsibility. You must use your time wisely and to also remember working from home is not a "get rich scheme". This will take time and lots of patience. You will have failures along with success in your venture. If you want to succeed, the one thing you should remember is: "NEVER GIVE UP".
